  "account": "Flash floods in Nepal's Rasuwa district have left 55 Malaysians missing, including two fire and rescue department officers and 17 pilgrims heading to Tibet. The fire and rescue department director-general, Nor Hisham Mohammad, revealed that the missing officers were part of a 10-strong group traveling to the Everest Base Camp (EBC) by jeep, not for climbing. Meanwhile, R Logadashini reported that four family members were among the 17 Malaysians traveling to Mount Kailash for a pilgrimage. The last contact with the group was at 10:33 AM Malaysian time, when they were 2km away from the Nepal-Tibet immigration checkpoint. Since then, all communication with the group has been lost, and no information has been received from the tour agency or the Malaysian embassy.",
